the rules.

Last updated 14 May 2026. By using Owndle you agree to these terms.

// who we are

“Owndle” / “we” / “us” is Ross Hawthorn t/a Random Shenans (United Kingdom). Contact: hello@owndle.com.

// what owndle is

A portfolio tracker for domain names. We read public RDAP / WHOIS data, compare renewal prices across registrars from our own price catalog, and surface renewal alerts via email + push. We do not own your domains, host them, or transact on your behalf. Transfer and listing buttons redirect you to the third-party registrar or marketplace where you complete the transaction.

// your account

  • · You must be 18 or older and provide an accurate email to sign in.
  • · You’re responsible for what happens under your account (keep the magic-link inbox secure).
  • · You can delete your account at any time from settings or by emailing us.

// acceptable use

Don’t:

  • · Import domains you don’t own or aren’t authorised to track.
  • · Use Owndle to enumerate or scrape WHOIS / RDAP data for resale or spam.
  • · Try to break the service (rate limits, abuse of the API, attempting to access other workspaces).
  • · Reverse engineer the apps to bypass plan limits — we’ll just close the workspace.

// plans + billing

  • · Subscriptions are monthly recurring, billed via Stripe. Prices are shown in GBP exclusive of VAT (added at checkout where applicable).
  • · Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period. We don’t pro-rate refunds for unused time unless we’ve broken something.
  • · A failed payment puts the workspace into a ‘past due’ state for up to 14 days while Stripe retries. After that the workspace returns to the free tier and the over-limit domains stay visible read-only.
  • · We may change pricing with 30 days’ notice. Existing paid subscriptions keep their original price for at least one additional renewal cycle.

// affiliate revenue

Some of our outbound links (“transfer to X”, “list on Y”) are affiliate links. If you purchase, we may earn a commission. This never increases your cost. We rank registrars by price, not by commission rate.

// service availability

We aim for high uptime but don’t guarantee it. We’ll let you know about planned maintenance. RDAP and WHOIS data come from third-party registries — if a registry rate-limits or breaks, some enrichment may be unavailable temporarily.

// our data, your data

You own your portfolio data. We grant ourselves only the rights required to run the service (store, display, back up). On account deletion we remove your data per our privacy policy.

// liability

We’re not responsible for losses arising from domain decisions you make based on our information — registrar prices and expiry dates come from public sources and can be wrong or stale. Always confirm with the registrar before transferring or letting a domain lapse.

Our aggregate liability for any claim is capped at the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or £100, whichever is greater. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law (e.g. for death, personal injury, fraud).

// termination

Either side can end the relationship at any time. We’ll refund any paid time you haven’t used if we’re ending your account for reasons other than abuse / non-payment.

// changes

We’ll update these terms when the service changes materially. Material changes get 14 days’ notice via email to active accounts.

// governing law

English law. UK courts have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes that can’t be resolved by email and good faith.
